Electrical work for Tarragindi homes
Tarragindi is a popular family suburb on Brisbane’s south side, known for its tree-lined streets, parks and proximity to Toohey Forest. Its homes range from Queenslanders and interwar cottages to post-war houses and modern rebuilds, with a steady stream of renovations as families move in and make the homes their own.
Most of our Tarragindi work involves renovations and upgrades. Older homes need safer switchboards, rewiring where wiring has deteriorated, and more circuits for modern kitchens and air conditioning. Families also want better lighting, fans, outdoor power and EV charging. The leafy setting means storms can bring down branches and cause surges, so well-protected outdoor circuits and surge protection are worth considering.
You get licensed electricians who plan properly, respect your home and give you a fixed price before starting.

Residential electrical work in Tarragindi
Character homes
We rewire Queenslanders and interwar homes carefully, using existing access to protect VJ walls and ceilings, upgrade switchboards and install lighting and fans that suit the home.
Renovations and rebuilds
We work with builders and owners on extensions, raise-and-build-under projects and rebuilds, planning supply and board location early and completing rough-in and fit-off to schedule. We also bring the rest of the house up to standard.
Outdoor living and storm protection
We install decks, pool and garden power and lighting with safety switch protection, and can fit surge protection at the switchboard. For home offices we add circuits and data cabling. For commercial premises nearby, see our commercial electrical services.
Getting ready for the 2027 smoke alarm deadline
Owner-occupied homes in Queensland need interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms by 1 January 2027. In character homes with high or decorative ceilings, the installation needs a bit of thought. We choose alarm locations that meet the rules, use wireless interconnection where running cables would damage original linings, and install everything neatly. It is often worth combining this with a switchboard check in the same visit.

Yes. We check your supply and board first, then install the charger neatly.
